It will be interesting to see how That ’90s Show works in the different genres. ‘And so, there’s something for everybody inside the show.'” “‘I love all the music from the 90s, all the genres, and we try our best to weave them all into the show,’ says Mettler. Mettler has expressed a love and appreciation for all things ’90s music, as he recently told Variety. Even worse, vast communities of music obsessives will be left out, feeling marginalized, forgotten, and ignored. With Netflix’s recent launch of the nostalgia cash cow, That ’90s Show, it’s inevitable that some things considered emblematic of the ’90s will be overlooked, despite showrunner Gregg Mettler’s best intentions. Making a definitive statement about a musical monoculture is pointless and futile. Still others will think of niche scenes like the renaissance of ’90s death metal or the heyday of ’90s rave music and culture, which became so prevalent it exploded into mainstream society like Yellowstone National Park’s Old Faithful. Others will flash to the golden era of ’90s hip-hop and R&B. For many in America, they’ll think of grunge and the glory days of alternative music. The phrase “1990s music” is going to mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people.
